Hi there,
I Am trying to add an EPSG code for Winkel Triple to my MapServer proj
file but I keep getting the error:
msProcessProjection(): Projection library error. no options found in
'init' file
I added the entry:
# Winkel Triple
<1234567> +proj=wintri +lat_1=45 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84
+units=m +no_defs <>
to the file epsg (located at /usr/share/proj on my Ubuntu machine) and
rebooted.
Ogrinfo tells me the following about the shapefile I am trying to serve:
Extent: (-16707480.310734, -10018754.171395) - (16920780.652974,
9320947.177797)
Layer SRS WKT:
PROJCS["World_Winkel_Tripel_NGS",
GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
DATUM["WGS_1984",
SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],
PROJECTION["Winkel_Tripel"],
PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0],
PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],
PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",0.0],
PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",45.0],
UNIT["Meter",1.0]]
In the mapfile I am referencing this shapefile through:
LAYER
NAME 'WTCountries'
DATA 'maplecroft_countries_winkel_45'
STATUS off
TYPE Polygon
METADATA
WMS_SRS 'epsg:1234567'
WMS_TITLE 'Countries_WT'
WMS_FEATURE_INFO_MIME_TYPE 'text/html'
END #METADATA
PROJECTION
'init=epsg:1234567'
END
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Your help would be
greatly appreciated!
cheers,
